Gmail scans your emails and doesn't allow aliases. And the design is awful. The new Outlook looks nice, doesn't scan shit, and allows real aliases. And people still use desktop clients for email? I don't think I've done that in at least seven years.

UI in the link you provided = AWESOME! Yet when I login with my e-mail address all I see is the default OWA which I hate with a passion. :(

We were talking about ditching GMail today so I'm finally going to start migrating to another service soon, I hate GMail more than OWA though so it might be an option. With K9 Mail installed on my phone, GMail no longer has any benefits over any other e-mail provider with the IMAP Push option. :)

LOVE it. The capcha is pretty screwy though. First time I tried to send an email I typed it correctly (easiest capcha to read ever), it told me I was over the limit on attempts. One? But oh well, I'm not entirely sure what happens if I send an e-mail from outlook.com while logged in as jarland@mac.com and it never asked me to create an alias. So new account, jarland@outlook it is ;)

There was a problem with the Outlook service (a temporary network connectivity issue that has nothing to do with your computer). Please try again. If you keep receiving this message, go to Service status to see if there's a problem with Outlook.

Well i'm not sure. On my iPhone there are Exchange ActiveSync and Microsoft Hotmail options. When I choose Microsoft Hotmail (@hotmail or @live), not Exchange, the iPhone setup automatically to receive push mail and synchronize. Actually I don't care wether it is Exchange or IMAP, as long as the emails are pushed and synchronized.

When I login to outlook.com with my hotmail credentials I automatically get upgraded to the new interface. Which I think is much much better than the old one.

The service itself still sucks imo. That smartscreen filter of theirs, @#$%@#!!! Emails from servers with clean ip's, proper SPF/sender-id records and valid dkim-signature getting delivered in the junk folder... Every time I check my inbox for new mail I also need to check my junk folder, what's the use of that filter :S.

That's why you use a third-party (gmail or your own domain) as the email address you hand out to people/sites and have all mail forwarded to your outlook.com address. Then just whitelist your domain and nothing gets sent to the junk folder. I've had a "spam" email that I've used as a filter for like seven years now.

Here are a few other things to keep in mind:
Email sent to your old address will still go to your account.
Remember to always sign in with your new address; you won't be able to sign in with your old one.
If you'd like to stop receiving mail sent to your old address, just delete that address in account services.
